Appraisal systems

Performance reviews and a consistent approach are essential when it comes to understanding the strengths and weaknesses of your employees. Furthermore, by being proactive now, you can often avoid problems occurring at a later stage.

From setting up appraisal systems through to coaching staff and analysing appraisals, Ellipse HR can help your business set achievable goals and manage expectations effectively.

Employee benefit schemes

Believe it or not, pay is not always the best motivator of people. Providing your employees with benefits is a brilliant way to encourage loyalty and performance, and such schemes have been proven to increase morale.

At Ellipse HR, we have many years’ experience in advising businesses on selecting the employee benefit schemes that would generate the most motivation and enthusiasm amongst their workforce.

Compromise agreements

When terminating employment in difficult circumstances, significant benefits can be achieved through the use of a compromise agreement, which sets out the financial and other terms on which you and the employee will part.

In essence, such agreements include a severance payment made by the employer in return for the employee agreeing not to bring certain legal claims against the employer.

At Ellipse, we can advise you when it is appropriate to use a compromise agreement and ensure the severance payment is cost-effective and right for the business.

Incentive schemes

Employee benefit and reward card.

Our employee benefit and reward card gives your employees the flexibility and freedom to save hundreds of pounds annually with major UK retailers and benefit providers.

Your people will be able to use their discount card to make major savings on everyday purchases and at a cost that starts from just £10 per person per year, the card gives you the opportunity to provide a high value employee benefit at a very low cost.

Pay benchmarking

Understanding the marketplace you are operating in can make a real difference if you are facing recruitment or retention issues.

At Ellipse HR, we can work with you to research your market, enabling you to appreciate the issues at hand and how to deal with them.

Succession planning

It is vital to ensure that you have processes in place to identify and develop the employees who will one day assume the key positions in the business and take it forward in the future.

At Ellipse HR, we can work with you to assess and carefully select the most appropriate employees, then ensure they receive the necessary training to develop the skills required to lead the business.

Training

Ensuring your managers have the right skills and knowledge to motivate and develop your business can add real value to the organisation.

Ellipse HR provides a wide range of courses and seminars, including workshops, employment law training, team building and external training events.
